It's tax season here in the USA. I just read the 1099-MISC closely, and here are some of the types of income that form captures:
📕 Royalties (why I get one)
🏚️ Rents
🛥️ Fishing boat proceeds
🌾🏦 Crop Insurance proceeds
🐟 Fish purchased for resale
🪂 Excess golde parachute payments
This is a history of rich people trying to avoid paying taxes, I would assume.
Anyone with nonzero values for ALL these probably had a REALLY interesting year.
